Desperate Dan Dandy knitting patterns

It’s been a sad day for UK comics: iconic children’s magazine, The Dandy, is under threat of closure.

And while there are other comics still out there (such as the marvellous Phoenix Comic which includes our favourite comic strip, Gary’s Garden by Gary Northfield), it’s still sad that it might be about to close.

So in tribute to our childhood, here’s a round up of some Dandy-inspired knitting patterns and other Dandy goodness!
